Story at the link below was written prior to the weekend series with Illinois which was not a memorable weekend for Ellis as he only got a single hit, a 2-run HR in the Sunday game.

 

Ellis took back his place atop the Big Ten home run leaderboard with his 13th home run on the season. He's also fifth in the conference with 45 RBIs. He's hitting .286 with a .413 on-base percentage and team-best slugging percentage of .571 that puts him tops on the team in the combined category of OPS at .984.

Hoosiers are on the road in Ann Arbor this weekend trying to make it into the top 8 in the B1G with the season winding down.  The lost the Friday game 8-4 but bounced back yesterday with a 9-5 win and are now tied for 8th place.  If the season ended now the Hoosiers would be IN the B1G Tourney via the third tiebreaker (RPI) for a three-way tie.  Next weekend they host Minny and then the following weekend conclude the regular season at Iowa.

In yesterday's win, we pounded out 16 hits with Pyne, Mathison and Goforth getting 3 apiece.  We trailed 5-3 after 6 complete but scored 3 in the 7th and 3 in the 9th for the win.  Today's game set to start at 1:00 on B1G+.

Huge win today in Ann Arbor 10-8 and our 3rd B1G series win in a row.  One of the highlights was Carter Mathison and his 15th HR on the year breaking the freshman HR record of 14 set by Alex Dickerson in 2009.  Mathison had 3 RBIs and Tibbitts went 4-4 and also had 3 RBIs in the game.  It was 8-7 Michigan lead after 7 complete.  We scored 2 in the 8th and 1 in the 9th.  Reece Sharp with a great job out of the bullpen only allowing 1 hit and 1 run over the final 3 innings.  

We play a single game at Louisville Tuesday evening and host Minnesota next weekend.

Hopefully his team can continue this momentum throughout the end of the season and end strong, unlike last years team that started out strong and choked down the stretch. 

You never know what can happen if this team makes it to the Big Ten Tournament.

Austin Render  --  After yesterday's action, featuring an Indiana win, the Hoosiers are now inside the top 8, currently in solo 7th, ahead of Purdue on win %. Two weeks to go, and the Hoosiers control their own destiny.

I believe PSU has a game today vs. MSU. Could make up a half game on them, today.

Hoosiers dropped last night's game vs Louisville by a score of 7-2.  We had 7 hits but left 8 on base.  We used 5 pitchers who collectively gave up 8 hits and 6 BB.  We committed 2 errors that led to  2 of Louisville's 7 runs.  Back to Bloomington this weekend to host Minnesota.

From Dustin Dopirak:  Indiana heads into the final weekend series, which begins Thursday at Iowa, with a two-game cushion on a Big Ten tournament berth. Northwestern has the head-to-head tiebreaker with IU, but IU has it over Nebraska.

Why is Indiana below Michigan?

Good question since we took 2 of 3 from them in Ann Arbor.  Maybe whoever put the list together used overall records when B1G records were tied.  That is a consistency in the 4 ties.

Yup. The standings are put an random when tied. Don't use it for tiebreakers. First tiebreaker is head-to-head results and IU beat Michigan so they win  any two-way tiebreaker with Wolverines.

Another comeback win last night 12-7 over Illinois State.   ISU led 7-5 after 7 complete but our Hoosiers scored 7 in the 8th which included a Matthew Ellis grand slam who finished the night with 6 RBIs.  We got 9 hits off ISU pitching whereas they got 15 off our staff, 6 of which they got off Jack Walker in his 2 innings on the mound.   Regular season wraps up this weekend in Iowa City.
